I have a buddy who is lending me a gopro for the weekend, and I have no idea how to run them or what setting is best. can anyone give me some helpful hints or possibly post old threads that could help me out? thanks

If I only have one battery, I will set it on audible beeps and the start recording when I turn it on. That way when birds show up I can turn it on and record, then when they stop flying I can just turn it off. Makes it last the whole hunt and makes editing MUCH easier. If you have multiple batteries then just turn it on and let it run. Will probably get an hour or so out of it.

Recording in 1080 at 30fps wide will give you clearest video and you can zoom in to the "narrow" field of view with software afterwards. If you want slow motion go with 720x60fps
